Primal Diet ~ Hows It Going?
As you may or may not know I’ve slowly been working my way into a primal diet and exercise program as outlined in Mark Sisson’s book The Primal Blueprint.
A while back I started on the “Paleo” diet ~ which is actually quite similar ~ but the tone is quite different. It didn’t go very well. [...]

Hanna Gets a New Bike
Last weekend was the small town fair in the town my Mom lives in. We entered flowers and canning. The thing about this little town ~ and maybe others like it ~ the kids get Friday off for the fair. Yeah ~ they get the day off school so they can come to the fair.
There [...]

Award Winning Canning ~ Who Knew?!
As you may have read I had my first solo effort at canning this year. There were some ups and downs, and I came out with some respectable canned items.
Where we live there are little towns around, and each and everyone has to have their own fair. This week it’s the South Haven fair. My [...]

Pop Tarts are NOT Breakfast
This week I was stunned. Literally stunned into a fury of silence ~ well not really silence because I’m not really a “silent” kinda gal. You can’t turn on a news program without a camera following around a bunch of obese people and complaining about how America is getting FAT. The highest obesity [...]

Choosing the Best Hummingbird Feeder
I have never been a big “bird person”. I think they’re nice, and I like to hear them chirp. However, a couple years ago I bought this little teeny tiny 2 oz hummingbird feeder just on a whim. (I think it was after we visited Colorado and saw tons and tons of hummers). To my [...]

What Were Eating This Week.
It’s another Monday and it seems I’m back on track with the menu! YAY. Got it done yesterday as well as the shopping. I planned the menu around what we had in the freezer and what was on sale at the store.
I’m also working on eating a more Primal diet, so our menu will also [...]

Back to School Shopping Time!
Well… it’s almost over ~ our first summer since Hanna started school. It’s gone pretty well, and I’m excited for school to start.
Hanna’s teacher from last year has moved to a different school so she’ll be getting a new teacher this year. We’ve met her, as she stopped by earlier this week [...]

Squash Bug Invasion ACK!
I swear, yesterday there were no squash bugs on my plants. In fact, I was even thinking how amazing it was that I had yet to be invaded by squash bugs.
Then today…
Invasion….
I’m looking for a non toxic way to get rid of these buggers ~ any suggestions?
I’m pretty sure this can’t be good either:
Please… if [...]

Kielbasa Recipe
In an effort to keep our grocery bill down this week I went through the freezer and made the menu based on meat we already had. For some strange reason my mom brought me a Kielbasa (I think she didn’t like it or something. I don’t know) so anyway, there was a Kielbasa in the [...]

Harvesting the Potato Pool
You may or may not remember that I planted a good bit of my potatoes in a kiddie pool that had been weed whacked and no longer held water ~ which was just sitting around looking a mess in my yard.
Well the plants have all died off so I decided it was time [...]
